Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; Clues to the real murderer) Chapter 155 The first round
"I'm just a spectator, Yingyang doesn't have to worry." The Queen Mother was as approachable as ever, and immediately after taking her seat, she motioned to everyone to excuse herself, and said such a sentence, but who would take it seriously?
Yingyang Zhenren was expressionless: The Queen Mother came to watch the battle, claiming that a method that was satisfied with the past and did not deal with it afterwards would not work, but if you have to choose one of them, you can't rely on the Queen Mother's intentions, and accept a student who doesn't like your eyes, it's like marrying a man who hates each other, it's all disgusting, and you must refuse.
He Zhan secretly rejoiced in schadenfreude: his aunt was stubborn, he was afraid that no matter how good Eleven Niang's performance was, he would not want to "empathize", if his aunt really wanted to deal with the past with no satisfaction, he had no choice, fortunately, the Queen Mother came, with this intervention, the aunt would at least pick one student, he was not worried that the daughters of Xie and Wei would fall into the blue eyes of his aunt, and Eleven Niang was bound to have a way to convince the Queen Mother.
Most of the test takers: I originally expected that today's competition would be fierce, and now even the Queen Mother is on the scene...... Of course, the Queen Mother is for the daughters of Wei, Liu, and Xie, so doesn't she even have a glimmer of hope? But fortunately, I knew that there was little hope, at least the Queen Mother was present, even if she was not selected, it was a gain to be able to show her talent in front of the Queen Mother.
Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief: Compared with the Liu family, the Queen Mother certainly values the Wei and Xie families more, and the chances of Eleven Niang being selected are smaller.
Mrs. Wei's expression was calm, and there was no wave at all.
The most ecstatic, as seen by the eleventh mother's observation, it is the daughter of the Xie family - this is the granddaughter of Xie Raoping's eldest brother, that is, the niece of the concubine, the name of the boudoir is called Zhi, she has been taught by her mother since she was a child, and she has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a painting at the age of seven has been praised by Xie Raoping, so Xie Zhi is very pretentious, and she has heard the elders talk about it, and understands that the Queen Mother treats the Xie family no more than ordinary, so she is determined to win today's exam.
The Queen Mother glanced at the people below, and smiled again: "The third sister-in-law and the fourth sister, the two of you are not at the same table with me, today is not a palace banquet, I am just a guest, I don't need so many constraints." ”
This is to greet Tong and Mrs. Wei, deliberately showing closeness.
On such an occasion, even if Mrs. Tai was very tired of the Queen Mother's fake appearance, it was impossible to refuse, so she had to move her seat according to the order.
The Queen Mother looked at the only two men in the hall except for He Zhan.
"The two are ......"
Yingyang real person responded: "It's Yingyang's old friends, Du Changtao and Li Youzai, both of whom are good at Danqing, so they are specially invited to come to help judge today." ”
"I vaguely remember that the two of them were praised by the first emperor and served as Hanlin worship, and they seem to be ...... Du Jun also served as Shuo Fangling? After receiving an affirmative reply, the Queen Mother bowed slightly: "The two are outstandingly talented, and now the saint is the time to employ people, and they should also assist with their hearts." ”
Hanlin worship is different from the Hanlin bachelor, generally not responsible for drafting the edict, similar to the "royal scribe", the duty is to accompany the emperor to enjoy the fun, or chant poems, or play the piano, although according to the different temperament of the Son of Heaven, may also be asked about civil affairs and other affairs, but basically will not involve national affairs, let alone power, the queen mother actually said that the two had served as Hanlin worship, and even remembered that Du Tao had served as Shuo Fangling...... Isn't this clearly showing everyone that whether it is the Dezong Dynasty or the present, she has the right to be involved in politics?
However, the Queen Mother stopped at the point, and soon returned the initiative to Yingyang and listened to her announce the rules.
In the first round, the candidates submitted their paintings, complaining about their strengths or shortcomings, and it is not impossible to do both, Yingyang, Du Tao, and Li Yu selected ten pieces to be selected, and then by drawing lots to promote the pair, let the signatories point out each other's paintings or their shortcomings, but this time they can only choose one of them, and they can't praise or disparage, and finally Yingyang selects two people for the second round of final decision.
In other words, in the first round, more than half of them will be eliminated.
And this rule is biased, and the technique seems to be secondary, but it seems to be a test of eloquence.
Most of the ladies are like falling into the clouds, but the elders have some qualities that are interesting.
Probably Yingyang real people depend on character and temperament.
Of course, the Queen Mother did not comment on this rule, and only asked Mrs. Wei with a slight sideways face: "Is it taking Qi Niang to take the exam today?" ”
Mrs. Tai said bluntly: "It's the seventh mother's sister and the eleventh mother." ”
Let your granddaughter take the exam? The Queen Mother couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, suspecting that her sister should still be wary in her heart, and she didn't want her granddaughter to be favored by her.
Especially when the Queen Mother asked that Eleven Niang was only five years old, she became more and more determined, and looked at Mrs. Tai meaningfully: "I remember that Qi Niang seems to have just turned ten years old, as if she is close to Ye'er?" "Just to scare this girl, thinking that everything will be fine if she doesn't let her granddaughter take the exam, and if she wants to give marriage, she can run away by hiding at home?
Mrs. Wei responded lightly: "The queen mother has a good memory, but the concubine doesn't remember the age of King Jin, and the last time I saw it...... I thought I was the same age as my Saburo. ”
"The size is about the same, but the heart is very different, alas, Ye'er's child, temperament is not something ordinary people can bear, in the future, his princess, you have to choose a gentle and stable person, to say, last time Qi Niang and Si Niang entered the palace, I think her temperament is good." I can't scare you to death!
"If you want to say steady, Qi Niang is stronger than Jiu Niang, temperament, it's still small at the moment, it's not easy to say, it's just not a mess, but this child is really very much in the eyes of the elders, this is not still in Jiangnan, it is expected, Junyi's daughter-in-law is already preparing for this, it is rare that Xiao Langjun has both talent and quality, but it is a good family, although Qi Niang is still young, but it is not bound to settle down first, and then go out of the cabinet after the curtain." I'm sorry, Qi Niang's famous flower has a master, and the queen mother can't always marry a bad person, right?
The Queen Mother didn't take seriously the decision to let Liu's daughter marry He Ye, and when she saw that Mrs. Tai was not intimidated, she also smiled, and left an opinion that the first lady to step forward was her niece and granddaughter Wei Yan.
It turned out to be a peony.
Yingyang real people are good at heavy brushwork, especially love to paint flowers, which is almost known to the world.
Wei Yan obviously did what he liked, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied.
At the age of ten, he can create a painting peony, although the queen mother does not see the advantages and disadvantages, but also feels that it is not simple, so he is more satisfied.
"The real person's appearance, the advantage of the child is that he is more delicate and delicate than the painters of the same age, and the defect is dyed and colored, and he cannot be calm and bright."
It is good to say that it is good and not good, but also to speak bluntly, and the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.
Seeing that Yingyang Zhenren discussed with the two deputy judges, and attributed Wei Yi to the selection, the Queen Mother's smile became deeper and deeper, and she praised Tong's for the first time: "The Fu family taught Yan'er well, and you chose a good daughter-in-law for your own family." ”
Wei Yan won the first battle, but taught the rest to be even more nervous - except for Xie Zhi.
She is the second to be confident in the field, unfolding the painting, which is also a painting of fine brushwork, but it is just a copy, it is really at such an age, it is not easy to create a painting and be well received.
However, Xie Zhi did not talk about his strengths: "Although I like to write, my skills are insufficient, so I can only copy and write at this time." ”
However, this seems to be insufficient, but in fact it is a show, and he is full of confidence in the work he has copied, to the point that he can't find fault with it.
The Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, although she really couldn't see anything wrong with this painting, but Xie Zhi was guilty of playing with his heart, Yingyang was the least disliked and hypocritical, if Xie Zhi felt that he had copied it flawlessly, to put it bluntly, with this humble not like humility and self-pride, did you think that this idea could be favored by others?
Yingyang glanced at Xie Zhi and said unceremoniously: "The technique is indeed insufficient, in the future, you have to copy it quietly, the fine brushwork is especially exquisite, and the second is dyed with color, no matter from which point you look at it, you can't master it yet, or start with the imitation of the depiction, lay a good foundation, and don't be ambitious." ”
Where did Xie Zhi think that this would be the result, and his face suddenly turned pale!
One won the first battle, the other returned home, the pressure on the ladies was even greater, and many people even retreated, and it was a small matter not to be selected, if they were hit like the Xie girl, it would be shameless.
Eleven Niang was trying to encourage Ting to step forward - she wanted to play by herself, but the young and old were orderly, this was etiquette.
But he was preempted.
is actually the only noble daughter Qin Ji.
It is also a copy, she neither said that it is good or insufficient, but asked Yingyang to comment: "Although I like the skills of Danqing, I can't teach it, I only rely on my own exploration, so I don't know how the technique is." ”
Yingyang Zhenren smiled in return: "With your age, it is not easy to find out how to copy it like this, however, because there is no one to guide you, you are guilty of incoherence, there is a taboo of interruption, and then there is no distinction between primary and secondary...... You must remember two points, whoever will copy should first seek this need, and then take the matter next, this is one of them; Liang to look forward, the beginning and the end of the clear, the eyes in the heart, the heart is to make the hand, the turn of Xu disease, all unsatisfactory, if you can achieve the minimum intention in the pen first, a stroke, will not be too far away from the original hope, on the contrary, often make the eye to the pen, stop the paper element a heavy, there is bloated and weak disease, this is the second. Figuring out these two points, and then practicing hard, asking for guidance from a teacher in the future may not be a masterpiece. ”
This is also the meaning of elimination.
Qin Ji was not disappointed, and thanked him.
But I heard someone laughing out loud, and I don't know which daughter couldn't hold it back, and ridiculed Qin Ji for not being able to measure herself and deserving of her own humiliation.
Yingyang frowned: "Who sneered just now?" ”
Some people are ashamed of themselves again...... Eleven Niang secretly thinks that the most disgusting thing for real people is those who think they are born to make fun of others.
Sure enough, when a young girl had to stand up under the stares of many witnesses, Yingyang asked her because she thought Qin Ji was incompetent, and said with a cold face: "You haven't seen Qin Xiaoniang's paintings, how can you think that she is incompetent?" Don't be self-righteous, and your paintings don't need to be reviewed. In one sentence, the person was disqualified.
At this time, the ladies were even more silent.
Liu Banniang didn't even dare to come forward to show the painting again, Qin and her cousin Qin Ji didn't regain her courage for a while, especially when she saw a lady come forward, she didn't know how to paint, but she only said it was insufficient, and she said it very harshly, almost to the point of being useless.
Who would have thought that Yingyang Zhenren didn't praise her humility at all, but even omitted comments: "Since you yourself know that nothing is good, why do you want to learn painting from a teacher again?" ”
Self-proclaimed is not humble either, this still makes people live!
Liu Banniang didn't want to be embarrassed, but when she saw her sister Liu Ting and was successfully selected, she was envious, and the appearance of grievances and grievances really made Qin Ji anxious, and said in a low voice: "Why do you need to be so afraid, cousin, there is only one person today, most of them will be defeated, and where can they be embarrassed, you see, how old is that girl, five or six years old, she dares to take the exam, you are really ......"
Liu Banniang looked at it, and it turned out that the eleventh sister had appeared.
